While some people want to do an ab workout because they are looking for sculpted abs, others want to increase their core strength and stability. There are a variety of different ways to get the ab results you are looking for.  The great thing about ab workouts is that they can easily be customized to fit different experience levels, and tweaking them to help your progress is easy as well.
